I love this because I'm Jamaican too, I've notice that whenever I meet up with a Ghanaian it becomes very easy to communicate with, and its because we are similar in many ways. When the Ghanaian were kidnapped, and arrived in Jamaica as slaves. Our great, great, great, great, grand mother and father came with the wonderful culture of Ghana, and have passed it on to us. Long live Ghana and Jamaica. My favorite football team in the world is the Black Star. 1❤

[@lightofafrica777]

Yes! This is so true. Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

You guys are great. Please continue to put out great video's. This type of video, help to unify us. Great job.

I am a Trinidadian and I absolutely love what you had to say about the separatist mindset that a lot of our Afro- Caribbean people have. We are one people, just as Ghanaians, Nigerians, Gambians, Congolese etc are one people. You are so, so right about so many of the points you made about the similarities between Ghana and the Caribbean! I visited Ghana two years ago and everything felt so familiar to me. It was so easy for me to connect with people and blend in with the culture. I have NEVER, EVER felt that way living here in the US. There are so many ways that the Ghanaian women gesture, or some of the expressions they would say that remind me of my own aunties in Trinidad. I have seen so many people that look sooo much like people I knew back home too. Another thing I love about Ghana was the accessibility to coconut vendors on the streets! OMG! I can't tell you how much I miss that! I remember when my friend and I used to go exercising back in Trinidad, we would always stop for coconut water from the street vendors afterward and sometimes even for roast corn, or corn soup. OMG, I need to stop because I'm salivating right now, lol. You are also right about the school uniforms. Children (both primary and secondary/high school) absolutely wear school uniforms in Trinidad, which I really like. I don't like the way that children are allowed to wear any old thing they want here in the US. Many of them look WAY too grown and it also creates a hierarchy in those early years based on the clothes that their parents can afford to buy them. Children should not be exposed to that sort of thing that young. I feel that it is very damaging to their developing self worth. That being said, I think you are giving your child an amazing gift by raising her in Ghana! Thank you so much for making this video🙏🏽. I really enjoyed it.😊

[@lightofafrica777]

You are so right! We really are all one. Thank you so much for watching and were so happy you were able to connect with us through this video. Yah bless ❤💚💛

You must be careful because Ghana is not a diverse country, it is fully indoctrinated into extreme forms of the slave masters religion. The people are nosey, compliant, and boring.

[@oseitututawiah2109]

I once went to San Fernando Valley in Trinidad from Africa. Trinidad is a very beautiful country.

[@ksaforo8811]

I'm a Ghanaian living in the USA. I lived in Brooklyn for many years and worked with Jamaicans. The speech pattern of Jamaicans is very similar to the Akan Twi language of Ghana. For example, in Akan Twi, we say "me se" meaning "I say" and the Jamaicans would say "me say". Also, I heard my Jamaican friends talked about "Ananse" just as the Akan folklore "Anansesem". The similarities of our people are incredibly fascinating. By the way, according to historical records, most of the ships that sailed from the Cape Coast castle with African captives ended up in Jamaica before sailing on the mainland USA (American colonies in those days). And, I'm not sure if it's historically accurate that the name Jamaica was coined by the Akan captives that ended up on the island of Jamaica by saying in Akan Twi, "gya ma ya ka ha" meaning, "we are stuck here" and won't be shipped to the other islands or the mainland USA.

For your number 10, an African American who’s lived in Ghana for over 20yrs explained it very well for me. He said, the reason why Africans don’t usually adhere to time is because, we have the sun ☀️is up everyday throughout the year, unlike the western world where they have the sun for just 3 months in a year. For us if we can’t do something today, we can do it tomorrow or the day after or next or next month. It’s a stress free climate. Unlike in the west where there’s darkness and cold and so people have to do things at specific times

The actual name for Jamaica is the Twi word, "Gyama yaka," which our Asante ancestors said to themselves when they couldn't escape during slavery. In English, it means "we are (probably) stuck." The Whites couldn't pronounce it that's why it's now Jamaica. You can check out the similarities between the flags of the Asante Kingdom and Jamaica. Blessings😊

First time here and i like the comparisons...as a Ghanaian who have lived in mobay some years ago, i can confirm that we have more varieties of white yam than in jamaica...we do have yellow yam and different varieties of it.. Also the white yam in Ghana especially "puna and labrekor"are very tasty and better than the regular white yam in Jamaica..theres no comparison and i would like you to try it...the white yams most people eat in Ghana is different from the ones in jamaica....also we dont cook green bananas in Ghana, rather its green plantains called "apim" or "apentum" that looks like the jamaican green bananas but they are plantains not bananas. dukunu in jamaica actually came from Ghana, Ananse stories also came from Ghana.l Nanny of the maroons whos portrait is on the $500 jamaican bill also came from Ghana...We are one people thats why when you go to maroon town you will see names of maroon ancestors such as kwame, kofi, Quafie Cudjoe, etc...The culture is the same as you said...we are one race and one people...i wish Ghanaians learn how to prepare and eat breadfruit and ackee with salt fish which i love dearly.....great content and hope you enjoy your stay...bigup n blessings from NY.

There's lots to tell you guys but time is limited. The Maroons whether in Suriname or Jamaica are mainly Fantes from Kromantin in Central region.
